HerOiSn.

Not on the b ,ttleffeld, I deem.
Are deeds the most heroic done:
Not where the sword and bavo let
Are victories the grandest won
Not in the plague infested town,
Where stay the few the sick to sa- O
And for their lives their own lay down,
Shalt thou behold the worlds most brave.
In acts of great self sacrifice,
Of which all men with wonder hear,
a secret inspiration lie,
That stirs the soul e,,d conuuers fear.
To do the duty few shall know,
And knowing, scorn what God requires,
The menial duty far below,
The task to which the heart aspircs.
To do such service out of love,
Cnmoved by either praise or blame
And with a steadfast soul above
. The reach of either pride or shame,
Displays courage that alone
In one such act doth far outshine
All other earth had ever known,
A courage Christlike and divine.
I Ouths Companion.

Saturn's MOOn-CircleS.

Further marvels of Saturn's rings have
been noted by N. Stuyvert, of the Royal
Observatory of Brussels, and other as
tronomers. Dusky notches in the edges
of the rings, with evidences of variabili-
ty, are indications which support the
view that the singular hoop-like appen-
dages of our sister planet are made up
of small satellites so closely grouped
that the spaces separating them from
each other are not visible at the earth's
distance.

Handling California Wheat.

In no country in the world can wheat
be handled as cheaply as in California.
During the harvest season there is nopos-
sibility of rain, and the wheat is put
into burlap bags and stacked up in the
field until the farmer is ready to ship.
When sent to San Francisco it lies on the
wharf until a ship is ready to take it on
board. No shelter is needed, and there
are no elevator charge, the bags being
placed on board ship just as they come
from the fields In addition to the profit
resulting from cheap handling, the own
cr has his profits considerably increased
by the gain in weight made on the voy-
age to Liverpool. When the wheat leaves
California it is dry as finder, and in eX-
actly the condition to absorb the mOis-
turc of the sea air; and, consequently,
on its arrival in England a cargo of wheat
will be heavier by many thousand pounds
than when it left California. Wheat is
never shipped in bulk, bat always in
bags, as when loaded in bulk it is about
the most dangerous cargo ship can car
ry. No matter how lightly it may be
packed at first, it settles considerably
within a short time, and then it is very
liable to shift When shifting takes
place a ship is as good as lost, as the
change in the center of gravity throws
her on her beam ends, and she is nearly
certain to 90 to the bottom in the first
moderate gale. Many ships were lost in
this way, and now the shipment of grain
in bulk is prohibited by law.-LGlobe-

T.. SpreckeIs' Holiday Trip to
Hawaii

Under 5his heading the San Francisco
journal of Commerce" prints column
article laudatory of Hawaii, and largely
made up of extracts from Charles War
rem Stoddards rhapsody. 1t is a very
good advertisement of the Islands. Mr.
Spreckels, on being interviewed, said :
81 enjoyed the trip very much. 1t is a
lovely one. l have been all round the
world. and | must say it is the finest
trip man can take. We did not sight a
single vessel till we were near to the
land. have been down at all times
and always find the trip a smooth
one.'' Speaking of Honolulu, Mr..
Spreckels said that the city had
grown wonderfully during the past few
years. The population was mixture Of
Kanakas, Chinese, Portuguese, Japa-
nese, Americans and Europeans, with
some white natives OF the soil. Some
time ago the whole Chinese quarter of
the city was burned down. 1t has been
since rebuilt, and like Chicago rising
froun the ashes of its great conflagration,
rs much handsomer than before. Fine
brick buildings take the place of tumble
down wooden shanties. A good deal OF
them are owned by Chinese. The fire
has been benefit to the city. The city
is principally supported by the sugar
business. Most OF the whalers now
come to San Francisco, where formerly
they used to go to Lahaina, on the
island of Maui The weather at Homo
lulu s never excessively hot. The only
source oi amusement is society balls
etc. There is a fine theater, bat it IS
seldom opened. The principal part Of

is destined to become large sugar-prO-
ducing district, and that Congress would
act with much wisdom in passing the bill
introduced, if so amended as to give the
necessary security to encourage capitalists
to put money into the business. The money
is here in abundance; all that is wanting
is reasonable assurance of protection from
adverse legislation after the investment is
made
Europe, under the bounty system, has,
within a paratively few years, from a
small beginning, become the largest source
of sugar supply for the world. What has
been accomplished there surely encourages
the belief that the United States, under
similar system, and more favorable cOndi-
tions, may show equally good results.
Representative Hiscock's bill is a move
in the right direction, and, if followed up
in wisdom, will gradually stimulate
strong and earnest sentiment in favor of
encouragement to the home producer, as
against foreign products. While The
Grocer and Country Merchant" entertains
most friendly feelings towards those who
have been instrumental in stimulating
sugar production at the. Hawaiian Islands,
a feeling of pride in our own country and
in this State iustifieS us in expressing the
hope that the Pacific Coast delegation in
Congress will interest themselves in the
measure mentioned to the end of securing
such legislation in respect to it as will pro
mote cane and beet-sugar production in
our own country.

ABOUT BEET SUGAR.

We print in another part of to-day's
paper an article from the Grocer and
Country Merchant" published in San
Francisco, on the bill introduced by
Congressman HiscOck to "reduce the
duties on raw sugar and encourage home
production" 1t is worth careful perusal
by all who are in any way interested in
sugar production on these Islands That
it points to probable change of policy
on the part OF the United States is I'M
doubted. 1t has been argued that the
high protective tariff on sugar has not
developed cane sugar production in the
South to any considerable extent, and
that it is now time to take a new de-
parture. Ii France, Germany and Bel
GUM have become great sugar producing
aOuntries by means of bOunties, despite
-rawbacks OF poor or exhausted soil and
nfdvorable climate, what may not be
;complished by similar policy in the
nited States with its wide range of
climate and vast extent OF virgin
soil? This is the problem which
sr, Hiscock of Syracuse, New
ork, has evidently attempted to
I've, and it will be seen from the arti-
Gle quoted by us elsewhere that even
lose most interested in the sugar bust
ness on the Coast look favorably on the
project 1t has, moreover, the powerful
advocacy of Senator Leland Stanford,
who has put himself upon record to the
eject that in his judgment California
alone should produce all the sugar from
beet needed for consumption in the
states.
The article from the "Grocer and
Nyuntry Merchant" contains digest of
H.zcock's bill. The policy of the meas
ure is clear and unmistakeable, and we
suspect that this had quite as much to
10 in leading the Senate to refuse to
Ia,lfy the Hawaiian Convention, re-
tered to in yesterdays ADVERTISER, as
sl. thing else. One thing is very evil
lent, however. We cannot any longer
aalnt upon the present continuing
TIRE arrangement with al degree of
Gen .nnty. 1t is liable to be terminated
at my time should Congress approve of
Tin. principle embodied in Hiscock's bill
